This morning, the younger brother of rapper Trina was shot and killed by a friend in northwest Miami.  The incident occurred at approximately 10AM on Northwest 91st Street due to an ongoing feud.  Wilbrent “Gonk” Bain was pronounced dead and the Miami-Dade Police Department currently have the suspect in custody.  Sources say that Bain died due to 8 gunshots in the back.

 

According to neighbors and close friends, the suspect and Bain were friends. They both grew up in the same neighborhood near Northwest 91st Street and 24th Avenue.  Mutual friends told NBC 6 Miami that they believe that an ongoing fight between the two led up to the shooting.

 

Neighbors and friends are all in disbelief that this happen to Bain.  “He’s a very good kid,” family friend the Rev. Gary Johnson said. “It’s unfortunate. It’s a terrible tragedy.”

Trina have yet to release a public statement regarding her brother’s death. But, the overall census amongst neighbors and friends is that the gun violence is out-of-hand and must stop.
